Music reviews of Allegri: Miserere
Music Review: a voice teacher and early music fan
Rating: 5 Stars
THIS REISSUE AT HALF PRICE TOUCHES OUR VERY SOUL WITH ITS INCREDIBLE BEAUTY!
This recording by the Tallis Scholars under the direction of Peter Phillips is considered by many to be the finest performance of Allegri's "Miserere". This composition is quite simple in construction and much of it's impact relies on the conditions of performance, especially on the acoustic. And so the Tallis Scholars have used a reverberant building. It was recorded in Merton College Chapel,Oxford, and sets new standards for recording unaccompanied sacred music.
Palestrina's "Missa Papae Marcelli" has five movements. The richness of his music comes from the predominant use of lower voices- two tenors and two basses-with one countertenor and one treble. William Mundy's "Vox Patris caelstis" was written during Queen Mary's reign (1553-1558) and is contemporary with Palestrina's work. Mundy composed on an enormous scale, the audibllity of the words being secondary to the expansion of the melodies.
There is much to enjoy on this disc for the early music lover. Of course, one need only see the name "Tallis Scholars", and we know that we will hear the best in tone production, balance, phrasing, diction and appropriate emotion as the music indicates. Listening to this disc is the greatest musical experience not to be matched by any other. This reissue is half the price of the l981 issue. Buy it for its beauty and perfection!
